Zero Punctuation: Catherine

[Deacon Cole]

I tell you what, when it turned out that the main action of the game was a retro sliding block puzzle, I was flabbergast. Yeah, there's all that character interaction bollocks, but the main gameplay is a sliding block puzzle. Funny how that didn't seem to be in the hype. At least I don't recall it. And if it was, I suspect it was played down like it might be something you do once as part of the nightmare sequences, where each night the protagonist has a different dream that delivers a different mini-game. But, no. It isn't. Wow.

this review inspired me to get and play this game through.

I liked it.

Thanks Yahtzee!

Alright, I need a t-shirt that says "All women are dykes" and I need it now. Go go Escapist/SpitReason designer teams!

or one that says "what a poorly worded metaphor"

 

[Venereus]

has anyone noticed this "mistake" on the title screen:

I dunno if it was done on purpose or what...

I did notice it. And it puzzles me, may be that's it?

I love how many people who dislike/fail puzzle games and hate games with a timed deadline still jump and think "Oooh JRPG! Pretty pictures! Must have!" I mean, no.

This game seems to have artistic value though.

And the title being Catherine, isn't it bias?

After a while it gets annoying, listening to tirades against Japan's "strangeness" when you aren't less when compared to other more uptight countries. Las Vegas, porn, violent shows elicit the same and worse kind of rolleyes from others in the world.

"Did I mention this game is japanese"
What's that supposed to mean? Seriously, everytime Yahtzee reviews a japanese game, it gets a bit racist. It's like when my friends think I should laugh because they're talking about someone and then mention they're Puerto Rican. That shit isn't funny.

Oh look, the racist card is throw. Get over it, they are into weird shit, and so are you if you are into the same. Quit throwing a tantrum because not everyone shares your sentiments towards somethings.

Sorry but I'm not going to "get over" racist bullshit. I'm going to call it out when I see it and don't make statements like " they are into weird shit, and so are you if you are into the same. Quit throwing a tantrum because not everyone shares your sentiments towards somethings." because that makes you look bad.

Not everyone finds what yahtzee says funny; sometimes they're just plain insensitive. Instead of not denying that what yahtzee says is a bit racist and proceeding to insult me, you'd have been better looking if what he says really is offensive or not. If yahtzee had been "this game gets weird" that'd be fine but instead he goes "did I mention this game is japanese" like an arsehole.

There was nothing racist about that comment; he was making fun of Japanese culture, which is pretty damn weird if you're not Japanese. There was nothing mean-spirited about the joke anyway.

Basically he was saying "what do you expect from Japanese". He wasn't making fun of culture but the people who made it because of their nationality. It would be the same if I said "well, he's an asshole but what do you expect from British people".

I think the anime he was talking about was code geass, which is actually good when you get past the back story and into mech battles and magic eye powers

 

[ROBOcity123]

Loved this one. Yes, I'm new to fitting relationships between gaming.

 

[Hyakunin Isshu]

Can someone here tell me what is the Eva reference he made?

 

[Hyakunin Isshu]

As an anime fan, I agree with you that Neon Genesis Evangelion sucks.

I'm sorry, but what was the Eva reference he made?

I can't see the video right-now, so I would like to know.
